A Newly released photo after letters live. They were spotted in a bar near Albert Hall.

Funnily enough I don’t know if I would have the confidence to ask for a photo, I would probably flail and run. Or pretend I didn’t see him. My anxiety would be wayyyyy to high

I thought of the funniest shit the Sherlock showrunners could have done when that show finished and now I'm obsessed

SO

Sherlock's ended, last episode broadcast, fandom left disappointed and reeling, clawing at scraps of evidence that a secret final episode is in the works. Radio silence from all involved aside from the usual platitudes about being proud of the work they've done on such an iconic show and so on. But then, a week later at the time an episode would have aired, Sherlock's social media platforms tweet, blog, and post out a single sentence:

"The Greatest Detective in the World."

And a time and date, next week at the usual Sherlock timeslot. The fandom goes wild, putting pieces together and decyphering anagrams written in thin air, just absolutely peak feral Sherlock fandom.

Another week passes.

And then, a trailer is broadcast. It plays on the BBC at Sherlock's usual timeslot, and the social medias all post it out. The trailer depicts...

A well appointed apartment, police tape everywhere, evidently the site of a murder . Benedict Cumberbatch's voice is heard:

"I must admit, I thought myself fully versed in the methods of analytical detectiving... But this is something else."

His voice is different than we're accustombed to. Higher, softer, with none of Sherlock's usual clipped tones. He sounds downright friendly.

"I mean, the way you're able to piece it all together from mere fragments of evidence is truly remarkable!"

We see Cumberbatch finally. He looks nothing like we've seen him before: His natural hair colour is on display, cut short. He's wearing a rather plain suit, and he carries himself in a completely casual manner. We see him speak, still in a manner utterly at odds with his portrayal of Sherlock Homes.

"Good Lord! You're practically superhuman!"

He is addressing someone else at the well appointed crime scene. Someone dressed in very fine clothes with his back to us and kneeling over some evidence. The camera dollies towards the kneeling man and pans around him as he stands up and turns to face us.

It's Martin Freeman, also utterly unlike how we've seen him before. His presentation is fastidious, his poise careful, his tone polite and warm, and his accent...

"You flatter me, my Dear Hastings! And I am not one to refuse flattery, but I assure you that it is nothing more than the application of my little grey cells!"

HERCULE Coming Soon!

It would have been a Tumblr massacre.

British Actor Benedict Cumber Batch fronts Charity Song for Refugees

British Actor Benedict Cumber Batch fronts Charity Song for Refugees

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is fronting the release of a charity single to raise money for the rising wave of refugees reaching Europe’s shores from Syria and other nations, seeking safety from war and persecution.

Cumberbatch, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in the film The Imitation Game, has recorded a video message for the re-issue of a 20-year-old song by Australian band Crowded House called Help Is Coming.

All funds from the sale of the single will go to Save The Children, one of many charities trying to help thousands of refugees fleeing to Europe from Syria and other troubled countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Eritrea and Somalia.

Cumberbatch, 39, who played Sherlock Holmes in the hit BBC television series, quotes from a poem called Home by British-Somali poet Warsan Shire and adds a message to the refugees.

“As people watching this tragedy unfold from the safety of our homes, with our safe children, we want to say that we see you, we hear you and help is coming,” he said.

More than 380,000 refugees, about half of them Syrians fleeing civil war, have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year, a figure “expected to continue rising rapidly over the coming weeks and months”, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said.

The single is the brainchild of two British writers who were devastated by images of three-year-old Syrian AylanKurdi washed up on a Turkish beach after he, his older brother and their mother drowned trying to reach Europe.

Neil Finn, lead singer of Crowded House, has waived his royalties to the song which was written about migrants crossing the Atlantic to begin a new life in America.

British Prime Minister David Cameron announced this week that Britain would take 20,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years, prioritising women and children from refugee camps in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.

But more than 100 leading British cultural figures, including Cumberbatch, sculptor Anish Kapoor, and actors Keira Knightley and Colin Firth released a statement on Friday calling for Britain to take more refugees and saying the government’s response to the refugee crisis has been “too little, too late”.
